Whakatāne Adopt-a-Dog

Whakatāne Adopt-a-Dog Providing Animal Services to the Whakatāne District. We often have dogs of all shapes and sizes available for adoption.

We provide Animal Services to the Whakatane District region. This page will showcase dogs that are available for adoption and will act as a forum to answer any questions you may have. We also offer Canine Education Programmes for various community groups, conduct school visits and offer an “Adults at Risk” programme. We often have dogs come into our pound that are either surrendered or are unclaim

ed strays. We carry out temperament testing of all unwanted dogs and if deemed suitable, they are offered for adoption. We work hard to ensure that the dogs looking for homes are matched with suitable families, ensuring that they don’t end up back with us! If you are interested in adopting a dog, or would like us to have a chat with us about potentially adopting one, please contact the Animal Control Team on 07 306 0500.

Spring has sprung! Well, not quite, but babies are arriving in our rural sector. The smells of newborns can tempt even the biggest couch potato dogs to venture where they might not usually go. We have already started getting reports of dogs amongst stock, so please be vigilant in making sure your dogs cannot stray from home. Thanks!
